Article Synopsis
  • * Experimental techniques like in situ XPS and theoretical calculations show that the Zn-O/N-C heterostructure forms atomic-level charge transfer channels effectively.
  • * By introducing zinc vacancies, the optimized V-ZIS/CN photocatalyst significantly lowers activation energy for carrier transport and achieves a high hydrogen production rate under sunlight, demonstrating the advantages of this defect-engineering approach.

The steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP) is an important type of BCI that has various potential applications, including in virtual environments using virtual reality (VR). However, compared to VR research, the majority of visual stimuli used in the SSVEP-BCI are plane stimulation targets (PSTs), with only a few studies using stereo stimulation targets (SSTs). To explore the parameter optimization of the SSVEP-BCI virtual SSTs, this paper presents a parameter knowledge graph.

Sorafenib is the standard systemic treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and improving its therapeutic effects is crucial for addressing cancer aggression. We previously reported that epalrestat, an aldo-keto reductase 1B10 inhibitor, enhanced sorafenib's inhibitory effects on HCC xenograft in nude mice. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism of epalrestat's anti-tumour enhancing effects on sorafenib.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ubiquitously expressed, small, non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of approximately 30% of the human genes at the post-transcriptional level. miRNAs have emerged as crucial modulators in the initiation and progression of various diseases, including numerous cancer types. The high incidence rate of cancer and the large number of cancer-associated cases of mortality are mostly due to a lack of effective treatments and biomarkers for early diagnosis.

Gastric carcinogenesis arises from complicated interactions among host, environmental and bacterial factors, which cause genetic and epigenetic dysregulation of oncogenic and tumor‑suppressive genes. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small non‑coding RNAs that post‑transcriptionally regulate ~30% human genes, may serve as oncogenes or tumor‑suppressors in malignancies, including gastric cancer (GC). Although miRNA dysregulation commonly exists in GC, exact roles miRNAs serve in the pathogenesis and promotion of this tumor remain undetermined.

Classical swine fever (CSF) caused by CSF virus (CSFV) is a highly contagious and devastating disease that affects the pig industry worldwide. The glycoprotein E2 of CSFV is the principal immunogenic protein that induces neutralizing antibodies and protective immunity. Several CSFV genotypes, including 1.
